Both require time, but velocity requires displacement and speed requires distance.

Explanation:

Speed and velocity are two different quantities. In fact:

- Speed is a scalar quantity, which gives a measure of how fast an object is moving, regardless of its direction. Therefore, it only has a magnitude, which is given by the ratio between distance covered and time taken:

s=\frac{distance}{time}

Therefore, speed does not take into account the direction of motion.

- Velocity, on the other hand, is a vector quantity, so it has magnitude and a direction.

The magnitude of the velocity is given by

v=\frac{displacement}{time}

where displacement is a vector connecting the initial point with the final point of motion of an object.

The direction of the velocity corresponds to the direction of the displacement.

It must be noted also that in certain situations, the average velocity is zero, while the speed is not zero: for example, for an object completing a circle in a certain time interval, its speed is not zero, while its velocity is zero (because the object returns to the starting point, so the displacement is zero.

Therefore, the correct answer is

Both require time, but velocity requires displacement and speed requires distance.

Kisachek [45]

Answer:

Radians

Explanation:

The angular speed is a measure of the rotation speed of a body. It is defined as the angle rotated by a unit of time. Thus, It refers to the angular displacement per unit time and is designated by the Greek letter \omega. Its unit in the International System is radian per second (rad / s).

What is the overall charge of 1.5 x 10^10 electrons?
Troyanec [42]

Answer: Charge = -2.4x10^-9 Coulombs

Explanation:

The charge of one electron is e = -1.6x10^-19 C

Then, the charge of 1.5 x 10^10 electrons is equal to 1.5 x 10^10 times the charge of one electron:

Here i will use the relation (a^b)*(a^c) = a^(b + c)

Charge = ( 1.5 x 10^10)*( -1.6x10^-19 C) = -2.4x10^(10 - 19) C  

Charge = -2.4x10^-9 C

If a bow holds 500J of potential energy as the arrow is pulled back, how much kinetic energy will the arrow have after it has be
ale4655 [162]

Answer:

500J

Explanation:

The arrow will have an energy of 500J after it has been released from its state of rest.

This is compliance with the law of conservation of energy which states that "in every system, energy is neither created nor destroyed but transformed from one form to another".

  • The energy at rest which is the potential energy is 500J
  • This energy will be converted to kinetic energy in total after the arrow has been released.
  • This way, no energy is lost and we can account for the energy transformations occurring.
